This was a sad sight to see, Lake Alexandrina in South Australia. I remember when the water used to be all the way up to the vegetation. Lake Alexandrina is at the mouth of the Murray River. It’s my opinion, that if we had federally managed rivers and water allocations, that the Murray River ecosystem would be healthier.
What did you get up to over your summer break? I spent 7 awesome weeks away from Wagga. One of the highlights was seeing Franz Josef Glacier on New Zealand’s South Island.
I camped in National Parks in NSW, ACT, SA and Victoria and went on a huge road trip (almost 5 thousand km!).
More photos from my trip are on flickr.

Across Australia it’s National Recycling Week from the 9th to the 15th of November and Eco Active is proud to announce that we’re providing a central point for you to recycle flat batteries, ew@ste and printer cartridges. All you need to do is head along to Rivcoll and you can get rid of any of these items in the boxes outside the office. At the end of the week, we’ll organise to have these items recycled for you.
